It's no secret that women face a disproportionate amount of discrimination in the workplace. One-third of women say they have been subject to some type of workplace discrimination at some point in their careers --

Many women are dressed-up to please men, so it seemes to me. When will they have the courage to dress
themselves as they please ? Same goes for shoes ! Many walk with uncomfortable high heels, some can barely walk ! Men have comfortable , silent shoes. Sorry for those women at the workplace. They deserve respect, i.e. for multitasking.

I think the title of the article is over-the-top - "rape culture"?

The casino, I think, had a right to insist upon a weight standard for waitresses - a casino waitress isn't just there to serve food and drinks, she's also there to be part of the scenery - she's meant to be decorative in a certain way (just as a Disneyland Snow White isn't going to be allowed to be 300 lbs.)

And the manual, although it went too far I think, also was right in saying that if women don't want to be seen as sex objects they shouldn't act flirtatiously or wear revealing clothing in the office. That's good advice for anyone who wants to be taken seriously in most work environments (and men tend to have even stricter dress standards in offices - few businessmen I've known would wear "revealing" clothing to work).

And I think the dentist did nothing wrong in firing an employee because he was attracted to her, she texted him after work, and his wife felt threatened. After all he could hardly fire himself to resolve the situation.

If the other two cases are true, I do agree the companies' actions were wrong.

I am woman, I am strong......but this will never change in the workplace.....women have to learn to get passed this and yes unfortunately work twice as hard as men to get ahead. I did notice a piece of good news, that a woman is now top CEO for Facebook, and has written a book regarding her journey called 'Leaning In'.
